Why are my nipples different shapes/sizes? Extent of gynecomastia? (photos)

June 1, 2013
Asked By:tzzk25

Hello, I am a 20 year old male and would like to get a professional opinion as to potential reasons why my nipples are of different shapes/sizes. Additionally, I would like to know the extent of my Gynecomastia, and whether it appears to be mostly fat or gland based; the "hard pucks" under my nipples are very small. With exercise, can the larger nipple's prominence decrease? I try to not be self conscious about it, but it is prominent. Can weight loss help significantly? Thank you very much
